Hobart High School
Hobart, Indiana
1
1 13 year old structure takes its final bow
This building is made of much more than the ma-
terial things such as bricks, mortar, and concrete
which a stranger who is only looking on, may see.
It has a personality.
The Hobart High School building, a part of which
has now been standing for 113 years, holds the per-
sonality of each of the thousands of teenagers who
have passed through it during that space of time.
Each generation of teenagers brought its contribu-
tion to Hobart's high scholastic rating, its fine stand-
ing with neighboring schools, its excellent sports
records, and the success of our superb music depart-
ments.
The spirit of Yohan, an imaginary mascot, was
created several years ago by a student who was
"droodeling" during his study period. It is a rather
vague story as to how Yohan became known among
the students; the important fact is that he did. Yo-
han has always stood for the high standards set
forth by the faculty and administration and met by
the students; the good sportsmanship displayed in
the classroom as well as in the field of sports; and the
high ideals of the future citizens of America. He
IS the spirit of Hobart High.
This year, the last which the students are to spend
in this building, has been as rewarding as those pre-
ceding it. Many students have received high honors
for themselves and the school; some have distin-
guished themselves in certain fields and are now
planning ahead for their future.
Yes, a part of this structure will soon be torn down
only to be rebuilt so that room may be made for the
fast-increasing enrollment; but by no means are we
leaving behind those things for which this building
has stood for so long. We are taking them with us
so that they may be added to by the future students
of Hobart High — those who will come and go but
will never forget.

Cooking wholesome foods that taste good and have an ap-
petizing appearance proves to be a chore for the girls who are
just beginning in foods class. Actual work gives the students ex-
perience in a practical way as Vicki Small, Susan Taylor, and Judy
Pollard are finding out. Alos pictured are Martha McMurtry and
Donna Erwin, popping a cake into the oven. The girls not only
cook the food, they also make preparations before hand and clean
up afterwards.
"Read’n, writ’n, and ’rithmetic”
"Where's my T-square?" If Tom Menefee should ask that ques-
tion he might be in a little trouble, since the T-square is one of the
many instruments that is used in drawing blueprints and he can't
afford to lose it. While Tom is working on his drawings, Gilbert
Robinson is measuring the width of a piece of metal. Each boy
has his own desk and instruments, and he is taught how to draw
houses, garages, and city blocks, showing the different dimensions.

Looking at the results of their efforts in the dark
room are Danny McDowell, Sherry Casey, and
Gloria Adams. Classes combine fun with learning
os they develop and print pictures.
Students learn about tropical fish and underwater vegeta-
tion in Miss Stewart's biology classes. Here Paul Krause, Den-
nis Terry, and Sharon Jones observe the fish in the aquarium
while Mary Vanblaircom points them out to the class.

"London Bridge is falling downl" These boys are doing an
exercise called "bridging." The purpose of the exercise is to
strengthen the muscles in the back of the neck so that the boys
won't hurt themselves when they tumble.
"You're late again, young lady !" might be the roar heard from
Dick Gerlich, who portrays the irate father of a teen-age girl,
Melissa Ritenour. Irene Broda, playing the mother, calmly watches
during the skit in family living class.

T'was a cold winter's morn in Mr. Trammel's first
hour government class when the thermometer reg-
istered a cool 60°. Coats and heavy sweaters
created a somewhat warmer atmosphere.
These building trade boys, Wayne Bauer, Norman Govert,
Ray Flanigan, and Larry Byers, are diligently working on a
metal table for one of the other shops. Their latest project
is working on a portable building at Liberty School.

as well as speed, is stressed while learning to type.
Mr. Eugene Simmons points out the parts of the piano and their
functions to his music appreciation class. This is only one phase of the
course. Its purpose is to help students, not especially musically in-
clined, to learn to appreciate finer types of music.

Big bold letters spelling out Dick and Joyce decorated the sides
of the car in which Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn, Purple Party
candidates, rode. Riding in the front seat are their campaign
managers, Tom Welch and Judy Boyd.
The horn-blowing and shouting attracted many townspeople and
students during the lunch hour. The parade this year was a typical
campaign parade — a lot of fun and a lot of work.
Purple Party victorious! Dick and Joyce led into office by pep
Bringing up the rear of the election parade was this Purple
Party bandwagon and cheering section. As the wagon, pulled
by a farm tractor, went through town, boosters shouted their
favorite cheer, "Vote Dick and Joyce. Go Purple".
"Vote Gold" decorated many of the banners displayed in the
1957-58 Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer campaign. Much work in
Carol Schmelter's basement provided such signs as the one shown
here by Dave Flinn, Carol Schmelter and Vivian Selby.

Janet Ross and Loren Nibbe, qualified Gold Party Candidates,
rode in this decorated white Cadillac which led the 1957 campaign
parade and were escorted by a motorcycle policeman. Also in
the car are Kay Burke and Carol Schmelter, party workers, with
Gloria Callaway and Vivian Selby, campaign managers. Each
party was allowed five vehicles which were covered with signs
and crepe paper. The parade is always a high point in the
campaigning.
rally, colorful campaign parade, flying banners, cheering crowds
Election time ! Colorful banners through-
out the halls of Hobart High brought this
year's mayor and clerk-treasurer campaign
to the eyes of every student. A parade and
speeches, given by the candidates on the
qualities of leaders, helped to publicize the
campaign.
Juniors of last year chose Dick Gerlich and
Loren Nibbe as candidates for mayor on the
Purple and Gold Parties, respectively; as
their running mates the sophomores nomi-
nated Joyce Blackburn and Janet Ross.
The polls were open September 16th and
17th with over 1000 students turning out to
vote — another step in preparation for future
life.
Last year the students voted in represent-
atives from both the Purple and Gold Parties,
but this year they went back to a straight
ticket with the Purple Party being victorious.
Work of the election was over for all ex-
cept Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn who
took on the duties of mayor and clerk pre-
siding over the student council.
The new Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer, Dick Gerlich and Joyce Blackburn, give
their acceptance speeches as Janet Ross and Loren Nibbe look on. The
speeches climaxed a week of exciting campaigning and a summer of hard
work on banners.

Gerrie Kopko, 1957 Homecoming Queen, symbolized her happy
reign in red, white, and blue. The roses she carried were red and
a touch of white was added in the crown of miniature white mums.
Her formal supplied the blue in this trio of colors.
Looking on are Gerrie's court; Mary Dault, Mary Martin, and
Carol Diener. The queen and her court continued their reign at the
Homecoming dance, entering to the strains of "Pomp and Circum-
stance."
Gerrie Kopko Homecoming Queen; Mechanical float school’s 1st
From Bulldogs to hot dogs is a good description of the Senior float and the
Homecoming game, because Hobart did "Grind Those Bulldogs." The huge Yohan
was made of chicken wire stuffed with crepe paper. Yohan featured a mechanical
arm, powered by a battery, turning the handle of the grinder into which a Bull-
dog had fallen.
The anxious planning of each class for
a float and working on them behind
closed doors, inaugurated this year's
Homecoming activities. A bonfire, pep
rally and snake dance aroused spirit for
the big game against the Crown Point
Bulldogs. The cheerleaders, preceded by
the floats and police escort, led the snake
dance through town.
Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and
Freshmen received first, second, third
and fourth prizes respectively in the
float competition.
In a bid for their fifth straight victory,
the team led by their co-captains, Dick
Gerlich and Dean Eickstead, rushed
through a "Win Big Team" sign stretched
between a goal post.
During the half, Gerry Kopko began
her reign as the 1957 Homecoming
The team honored Queen Gerry with a
21-7 victory over the Bulldogs and at the
Homecoming dance she was presented
with a white autographed football.

A time to learn about leader-
ship— Hobart High students and
representatives from eleven area
schools had this opportunity at
the third annual leadership con-
ference sponsored by the student
council, held October 22nd and
23rd.
There were three sessions dur-
ing school time and a new night
session at which Judge Meszar
of the Lake County Juvenile
Court spoke, building his talk
around the word "Chicken".
Lana Ruegamer and Reed
Stewart, this year's Girls' and
Boys' State Governors, provided
another new treat. The "Qual-
ities of Leadership" was the topic
of their speeches.
Movies, discussion groups and
other interesting speakers made
this year's conference a success.
The visitors from other schools
were invited to study our con-
ference as a step towards setting
up conferences of their own.
Mary Martin, chairman of the hospitality committee, is shown greeting four of our 12
visitors from other schools. The visitors were student council representatives studying our
conference to take back ideas for leadership conferences of their own. Hobart students
were eligible to attend if they held any high school office.
Hobart’s third Leadership Conference is host to 1 1 area schools
What qualifications should a nominee for office have? This was
answered by the panel and the audience who added many import-
ant points. On the panel from left are Susan Shone, Gloria Calla-
way, Loren Nibbe, Pat Evans and Bob Etter.
Joann Clemens, cheerleader, gives her viewpoints on cheerleaders
and pep sessions as Vivian Selby, Johanna Nolcheff, and Bob Etter
listen. The group discussions could either discuss one of the topics
provided by the student council or any school problem.
Hobart City School System turned over to the seniors for a day
Seniors stepped into the shoes of
the school board, administrators,
teachers and office help on May 16,
Senior Day. This is the fifth year
the upperclassmen have had this
privilege.
Classes were carried on as usual
with all Hobart City Public schools
participating, including the junior
and senior high. Foreman, Mundell,
Liberty, and Ridgeview.
The purpose of Senior Day is to
acquaint the upperclassmen with the
problems of teachers and the school
administration on a typical school
day.
May 9 was set aside as Visiting
Day when Seniors visited the classes
of the teacher whose position they
were going to fill.

place in the library on Senior Day, helps Car*
olyn Beech find some reference material in an

Carnival yields money toward purchase of equipment for students
Penny here/ penny there .... pennies were important,
for they counted as a vote apiece to choose our Carnival
King and Queen. Bake sales were held to raise money
for the candidates and for the last few days of the race
a chart showed the standings of the candidates. Each of
the four classes were represented. From the left are Judy
O'Neal, Vera Storey, Mick Zimny, Queen Karen Voyles,
King Scott Wilson, Mary Kay Netzhammer, Wally Bielewicz,
Fran Cheverton and Bob Walk.
On carnival night the buzz-
ing rooms of Hobart High held
such activities as a sponge and
basketball throw, wishing well,
spook house, senior cafe and,
of course, refreshments. The
homerooms were in charge of
the activity held in that room.
The money that was raised will
aid in the purchase of equipment
for the student body.
Karen Voyles and Scott Wilson
were proclaimed the carnival
royalty.
The Seniors' Blue Nose Cafe
held many famous star attrac-
tions. Some of the celebrities
(played by seniors only) were
Elvis Presley, The Milk Bar Quar-
tet, Lawrence Welk and his band,
torch singers and a boy's chorus
line, all of which attributed to
an entertaining show.
Have you ever seen a better looking “Girls* " chorus line? They were featured at
the Seniors'" Blue Nose Cafe' " on Carnival night. The chorus line, who have strange
names for girls, are from left to right: Jack Traeger, Gene Kovel, Dick Gerlich, Bob
Gravel, Scott Wilson, Bob Bessigano, Ken Wilson and Bruce Lambert.

Eight Hobart High students belong to Quill and Scroll, a national
honorary organization for high school journalists. Members work
on either the school newspaper or yearbook and funds from each
pay for the pins each new member receives.
Those in Quill and Scroll are Doug Spangler, Mary Martin, Larry
Schaefer; (standing) Carol Hughes, Margaret Prentiss, Brent Dickson,
Carol Schmelter, and Gerrie Kopko. All work on the newspaper ex-
cept Gerrie who is photographer and events editor of the yearbook.

Varsity team chooses Pat Evans as the 1958 Basketball Queen
Reigning as queen for the 1957-58 Basketball Season was Pat
Evans, senior. Her all-senior court was Barbara Thomas and Donna
Shannon. Escorts, who were members of the varsity basketball
team, were Jim Meade, Dwain Crisp, and Chuck Vigland.
What have we here I Hobos raiding the Senior locker room ?
No, only the Seniors on Senior Hobo Day. Getting in on the raid
are Bill Fowble, Sally Good, Betty Edgington, Mary Sue Miscko,
Dave Dickson, Gerrie Kopko, and Judy Ferkinhoff.
"Buy a carnation for Cancer," say Diane Pflughoeft and Margaret
Rose to Renee Shannon (left) and Kathy Miko (right). This money-
making project was sponsored by the Debuteens and the proceeds
were sent to the Cancer Foundation.

At 8 A.M. Wednesday, February 5, Hobart
Seniors took over City Hall. This was Govern-
ment Day.
Government Day had its beginning last
year. It is a day when seniors learn more
about their city government by doing the
work of city officials.
Anyone who wished to take part filled
out an application stating their qualifications
for the jobs they applied for. Miss Thomp-
son, government teachers, and a student
council committee screened the applications
until the twenty-seven senior officials were
chosen.
In preparation for their work, the city
officials, especially the mayor, clerk-treas-
urer and councilmen, were asked to attend
the City Council meeting on January 22nd
to see how the business was transacted. Each
official was to visit the person he represented
to learn more about his job and government
classes discussed problems which might be
brought to the attention of the city.
According to law — Mayor Fred Rose pointed out to
Violet Guess, and Larry Schaefer, acting Clerk-Treasurer
and Mayor, that jay-walking is illegal. Mayor Rose was
very helpful to Violet and Larry on Government Day
when explaining their many duties in overseeing the city.
Twenty-seven seniors conduct city business on Government day
Time to take a break I The City Council looks up from its dis-
cussion of where street lights are needed in the fast growing resi-
dential districts of Hobart. Members of the Council are Loren
Nibbe, Gerrie Kopko, Jocelyn Hahn, Clyde Metz, Mayor Larry
Schaefer, Clerk Violet Guess, Bob Etter, Joyce Burke and Pat Evans.
The "acting" city council toured the city to view the street light
and road situations with the regular council members, and they
also visited the sewage plant.
16
Mayor Rose took the Seniors and the reg-
ular city officials to lunch at Cressmoor Coun-
try Club.
Council members spent their day inspect-
ing streets, lights, traffic signs and the sew-
age plant. Their work was done on Wednes-
day night after conducting the City Council
meeting and acting as a voice for the regular
council members.
The boys taking over the fire department
staged a fire drill at the high school using
a truck and siren to make it realistic. The
"firemen" inspected fire extinguishers, turn-
ing in a list of outdated ones to Miss Thomp-
son.
Those who took part in Government Day
felt it was a worthwhile and educational pro-
gram, and recommended it be continued
next year. They suggested that next year's
officials be choosen through a primary elec-
tion.
Youth of today will soon be the govern-
ing power of tomorrow.

Scrub and rub, make that engine shine ! This was one of the
jobs of the acting firemen on Wednesday morning. Taking time
out to give us a smile are Paul Bartz, Lyle Davis, Nicola Didonna,
John Link and 'Firechief' Tom Welch.
Even city officials have sewage bills to pay. Judy Zimmerman
collected money from Scott Wilson, city engineer, Sandra Ramsey,
city attorney, Jennie Speer, assistant office clerk, and many towns-
people in the course of the day in the sewage and water office.

"You're my special angel, my little bitty, pretty
pet," sing Nancy Bryan, Mary Kuckuck, and Barbara
Gilbert. These girls were only three of the stars
in the 1958 Talent Show, Shower of Stars. The
money from the show went toward a scholarship
for a senior.

‘Parisian Paradise” finds couples dancing beneath Eiffel Tower
"Let's sit this one out; how about it !" say a few couples as they
lip off their dancing shoes for a minute to take a seat beneath
he Eiffel Tower. Pat Evans, Larry Schafer, Mary Kay Netzhammer,
Iruce Phillips, Mary Martin, and Jim Herrick, three of the hundred
and eight couples attending the Prom, agreed it was fun dancing
but was sure hard on the feet I Many couples also enjoyed
gathering around the punch bowl.
A hundred and eight formals, cor-
sages, and tuxedos filled Hotel
Gary's Crystal Ballroom, Saturday,
May 3rd at the annual Junior-Senior
Prom. Couples danced to the music
of Bud Pressner and his orchestra
in a "Parisian Paradise."
Decorations were in different
shades of purple. Blue spotlights
turned a six foot Eiffel Tower, con-
structed of chicken wire and pink
napkins, into a lavender delight. The
mezzanine was decorated with white
branches, ribbon confetti, and var-
ious colors of pipe-cleaner birds in
cages. After the Grand March,
couples drifted to their favorite eat-
ing places.
Prom Royalty, Scott Wilson and Betty Edging-
ton, walked up a white carpet to take their
place of honor before leading the Grand
March. Looking on are Margaret Banaski,
Claudia Quinlan, junior class president, and
Sandy Lea.

We Came, We Saw, We’ll Never Forget . . .
Service clubs, social clubs, honorary organizations
such as National Honor Society, and Student Council,
the student governing body of the school, have always
played a big role here at Hobart in developing the well-
rounded and mature individual.
These groups give us chances to become better ac-
quainted with our fellow classmates and they help us
to learn how to work and get along with others. Also,
they give us certain goals to reach, and they teach us
to accept and carry out responsibilities.
.
The concert band tried something
new this year when they presented
a special convo for the student body.
They featured what Mr. Webb terms
as "people music", or in other words,
popular music. Some of the num-
bers they played were songs from
the New York stage play "Lil' Ab-
ner", the COLONEL BOGEY MARCH
from "Bridge on the River Kwai",
PORT AU PRINCE, and THE SWING-
ING SHEPHERD BLUES. Since this
convocation was accepted so en-
thusiastically by the students and
faculty, it may become an annual
event.
Some of the more cultured music
presented by the band this year
were SYMPHONY #5 FINALE by
Shostakovich; WOTAN'S FAREWELL
Spring cleaning? Yes, these girls are busier than ever, giving the band portable's
library a general cleanup. The school term is nearly over and the books, music, etc. are
being put up for the summer. The librarians were Rita McDonald, Joyce Griesel, Diane
Pflughoeft, and Peggy Farrell.
Concert Band proves
The 1957-59 Concert Band members are: Phyllis Carroll/ Margaret Mackenzie/ Carole Hughes, Donna Huston/ Joyce Griesel, Anabel
Stafford, David Taylor, Judy Thompson, Linda Kubiak, Dee Ballantyne, Sharon Dwight, Cecelia Brown, Bob Hodsden, Darlene Paul,
Judy Hurley, Nick Morganelli, David Thompson, Leon Edwards, Brianne Ballantyne, Susan Shone, Danial Davis, Peggy Farrell, Janice

and FIRE CHARM MUSIC from "The
Valkyries"; COSI FAN TUTTI by Mo-
zart, and Gold's PAVANNE.
At each of the concerts the band
featured several soloists. The coro-
net soloist for one concert was Dick
Hansen; clarinet, Carole Hughes, Bill
Gentz on trombone and Linda Ku-
biak, the flute. Susan Shone, who
plays the French horn, and Dee Bal-
lantyne, flute player, did a duet at
the spring concert. All of these band
members are seniors and by next
year Mr. Webb will have to replace
them with other talented performers.
The band wound up their year
with the annual tour during which
they presented concerts in different ... . . ,

band s Midwest tour. Each of these girls are seniors and outstanding members
of the band.

are: Mr. Spreister, Mr. Webb, Carol Kirkpatrick, George Smith, Greg Bogan, Donna Allen, Bob Bone, and Paul James.
Another favorite ensemble to be given
much credit is the flute quartet. These
four girls were equally as busy as the
many other band ensembles. Winning
state recognition was also an honor for
this quartet consisting of Dee Ballantyne,
Linda Kubiak, Judy Thompson, and Susan
Taylor.

1 957-58 Marching Band accents victorious football season; wins
"Around the World in 80 Days" can be almost as fantastic an
experience as it sounds, but when you hear this piece of music
being played by the Hobart High School marching band it really
has the effect of sending you that far in a very short time.
The formation chosen by the band and Mr. Webb for this piece
was a huge balloon ascending into space to carry the music "around
Brickie Bowl in a split second." All of this activity by the band
took place during the half-time of a home football game.
"Long live the queen" is fully expressed here by the band.
What could be more appropriate for a marching band formation
at the crowning of a homecoming queen than the representation
of her crown. The Hobart High School band aoes into this forma-
tjon each year for the coronation. Directly in the center of the
crown" the 1957-58 queen received this honor. To set the mood
or this occasion the band chose to play the ever-popular "Fascina-
tion."
state-wide recognition
Year after year the marching
band comes up with some unique
performances and formations. This
year, too, they displayed the talent
for which the Hobart High School
Marching Band is noted.
Commemorating Miss Thompson's
summer trip around the world, the
band played "Around the World in
80 Days." Then they took a trip on
the water as they played "Row, Row,
Row, Your Boat."
When the band got word of the
new school that the students will
move into next year, they set fire
to the old one by means of lights
on their hats. Meanwhile they play-
ed "I don't Want to Set the World
on Fire." As a fitting climax to the
year they formed a crown for the
1958 Homecoming Queen at the
Homecoming game.
Proudly looking on os the marching band prepares for one of their football
half-time performances are Mr. Webb, the band director, and the band officers:
Sharon Dwight, president; Carolyn Johnson, band sponsor; Darlene Paul, vice-
president; Dee Ballantyne, secretory; and Bill Morrison, equipment manager.

Dorinne Klawitter, secretary, as she goes over the books in search of the A
Cappella choir's annual candy sales report. The candy sale is important to the
choir because through it they are able to finance their annual tour.
Hobart High School is proud of its
A Cappella Choir and it is easy to see
the reason why. Under the direction of
Mr. Gene Simons, the choir has worked
diligently to achieve a perfection which
is not often found in a high school choir.
After each graduating class leaves,
A Cappella becomes somewhat smaller
in size and at the beginning of every
year the choir has to start all over again
to reach its goal. This year the old and
new members performed together for
the first time when they sang BLESS THE
LORD and HOW GREAT ALMIGHTY at
the Thanksgiving Convo.
The choir presented their annual Music
for Christmas concert on December 12th
in the Lutheran Auditorium. They sang
several seasonal selections which in-
cluded MARY HAD A BABY, PAT-A-PAN,
and THE BURT CAROLS.
Two candy sales were held this year
to earn money for their spring tour. The
students put forth a lot of effort to make
these sales a success.

Springtime means tour-time to the Hobart High A Cappella Choir
members. Judy Zimmerman, a member of the choir for two years,
informs Chuck Walker, Mary Sue Miscko, Gerrie Kopko, Jim Lake,
and Mickey Zimny, first year members, that the tour will be nothing
short of great. Everybody is impatiently waiting for the moment
to board the chartered buses and be on their way.
new appearance during Spring Tour
On the tour they stopped at Indiana
University and several high schools to
perform for students there. The choir
members stayed one night in Indian-
apolis and the other on the University
campus.
The choir had a new look about it on
tour this year; instead of the familiar
purple and gold robes, the girls were
attired in powder blue sheath dresses.
The fellows wore black slacks and white
shirts with vests and black ties trimmed
in blue to match the girls' dresses. These
outfits were worn for novelty numbers
only; when the students prepared for a
religious song they again put on their
choir robes.
Assisting the choir in its many local
performances and on tour were a fine
group of officers. Donna Shannon serv-
ed as student director, Jocelyn Hahn,
fund-raising chairman, Kay Burke, pub-
licity; Tom Welch, equipment manager;
Mary Martin, historian; Melissa Ritenour
and Janet Fleming, librarians; and Dor-
inne Klawitter, secretary, who worked
hard on all choir business.
Mr. Gene Simons, director; Donna Shannon, student director; and Pat Evans,
accompanist: these three people put in many hours of their own time toward
planning and preparing for the success that the A Cappella Choir attains
throughout the year.

Sextet, Madrigal Group represents Hobart in the State Contests
The A Cappella Madrigal group displayed these beaming faces after taking a second place in the state
contest. The members of this mixed ensemble are front row: Judy Boyd, Judy Zimmerman, Donna Shannon,
Janet Fleming. Second row: Jocelyn Hahn, Jennie Speer, Ron Sowinski, Leon Mann. Third row: Les Porter,
Wayne Teague, Dave Dickson, and Ed Goff.
The Glee Club Sextet is selected from among the girl's glee club classes. They are chosen to represent the
Glee Club in various programs and participate in the state contest held for all music students. Mrs. Willson
spends much time outside of class helping these girls to get ready for their performances. This year's sextet in-
cluded Carole Hughes, Sandy DeMeyer, Elaine Carpenter, Judy Peterson, Libby Furnish, and Florence Taboada,
not shown.

Glee Club performs for seasonal Christmas and Spring Concerts
After weeks of hard work and prac-
tice, the Girls' Glee Club gave their first
performance of the year at the Thanks-
giving Convo held in Roosevelt Gym.
They sang BLESS THIS HOUSE and LIFT
THINE EYES. Both songs were excellent-
ly presented and received with great
enthusiasm.
The Thanksgiving Convo was only the
beginning, for no sooner had they laid
aside the music for that occasion than
they had to begin preparation for Christ-
mas. They performed this time for the
freshmen, singing SILVER BELLS, CAN-
TIQUEDE NOEL, WE WISH YOU A MERRY
CHRISTMAS, and IT'S BEGINNING TO
LOOK A LOT LIKE CHRISTMAS.
The music for the Christmas Concert
and the Spring Concert were the big
events of the year for the girls. Once
again the Glee Club proves a credit to
the music department.
Throughout the year Carole Hughes has been a big help to Mrs. Willson, director
of the Girl's Glee Club. They work together to present fine music to their many
audiences. Mrs. Willson, a fan of Fred Waring's has composed many songs her-
self. Carole, a senior, has accompanied the Glee Clubs for three years and has
won honors in state contests.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
PRESIDENT — LOREN NIBBE
VICE PRESIDENT - BOB ETTER
SECRETARY -JOCELYN HAHN
TREASURER - RON JOHNSON
HISTORIAN - MARY KITTERMAN
The National Honor Society is
an honorary service organiza-
tion. Members are selected each
year on the basis of character,
scholarship, leadership, and ser-
vice. Two inductions are held
annually, one in the spring and
one in the fall.
A spaghetti supper was given
by the society at the beginning
of the second semester honoring
those students who maintained
a 2.5 grade average. An honor
certificate was also awarded by
the society members to any stud-
ent with a 2.0 grade average.
The National Honor Society officers were kept busy averaging the grades of the juniors
who are eligible for NHS next year. As Jocelyn Hahn takes the records of the juniors
from the files. Bob Etter, Loren Nibbe, Mary Kitterman, and Ron Johnson look on.

Approximately twelve percent of the class were inducted into
the NHS last fall.

It's hard telling what these Student Council members are up
to now but you can be sure it is something that desirves all of the
attention that Claudia Quinlan, Tom Hawke, Kathy Miko, and
Sandy Lea are giving it.
It's not easy to find the right teaching positions for everyone
on Senior Day, but Loren Nibbe, Larry Schaefer, and Bob Etter,
chairman of this Student Council committee, seem to have the job
well under control.
Student Council revises code for nominating the class officers
STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council is the
student governing body of Ho-
bart High. It has many duties
and sponsors numerous worth-
while activities, one of which is
the annual Leadership Confer-
ence which was held for the
third time this year.
They also sponsored Dress-Up
Day and Carnation Day, Govern-
ment Day, Senior Day and an
annual Talent Show. The pro-
ceeds of the Talent Show go to-
ward a scholarship for a deserv-
ing senior.
The Student Council has been
a representative of democracy in
this school for many years.
Hard at work setting up qualifications for class officers and revising rules for the nomi-
nating committees are Jocelyn Hahn, Bob Walk, Larry Snyder, Sharon Johnson, and Gerrie
Kopko. All class officers must have a 1.75 grade average or better and no student may
run for an office for more than two years. These rules are essential for the selection of
good officers of each individual class.

G. A. A.
PRESIDENT - KATHY McKNIGHT
VICE PRESIDENT - IIBBY FURNISH
SECRETARY - JERILYNNE LAYER
TREASURER - GERRIE KOPKO
Sportsmanship, leadership,
and health are the key words
of the Girl's Athletic Association.
Many sports, from basketball to
archery, are enjoyed plus special
swimming parties. A picnic at
Dunes State Park opened the
events of the year and served
as an informal initiation of new
members.
G. A. A. girls and others
danced in a "Hawiian Twilight"
at the G. A. A. Semi Formal on
November 25.
A yearly event sponsored by
this club is the Girl's In and Out
Game where the girls show the
boys their basketball skill.
Another year of success has passed for
the members of G. A. A. Libby Furnish,
vice-president; Jerilynne Layer, secretary;
Kathy McKnight, president; Joyce Black-
burn, sports head; and Gerrie Kopko,
treasurer, are summing up the activities
of the year by figuring out the number
of credits earned by each of the members.
Couples dance to theme ‘Hawaiian Twilight’

There seems to be plenty of activity at the regular Wednesday meeting of the G. A. A.
The center of attraction on this particular night appears to be volleyball. Getting this
ball over the net could be the turning point or climax of the game for Janet Kraft, Elizabeth
McLachlan, and Pat Zickuhr.

DEBUTEENS
PRESIDENT - SUSAN SHONE
JUNIOR VICE PRESIDENT- JANET JONES
SOPHOMORE VICE PRES - LINDA MILLS
SECRETARY- KAREN WARD
TREASURER - CAROL SCHMELTER
Calling all girls ! Calling all
girls ! Are you interested in im-
proving your social poise and
working with others Then Debu-
teens is the club for you. Debs
plan and participate in many
social activities. The annual semi
formal, this year's "Sweetheart
Swirl" held February 1 in the K
of C Ballroom, was the biggest
event sponsored by the Debu-
teens.
The Debs also sponsor such
drives as Bundle Drive, Carna-
tions for Cancer Day, and this
year they contributed to the
Polio Fund.
Planning activities for the Debuteens Club is no easy task; however, these executive council
officers seem to enjoy their jobs as they plan for the Style Show. From left to right are:
Carl Schmelter, treasurer; Karen Ward, secretary; Susan Shone, president; Linda Mills,
sophomore vice-president; and Janet Jones, junior vice-president.
Debs semiformal, honor banquet, and style show hi-lite the year
"Spring Forecast of Fashion", theme of the third annual Mother-Daughter Style Show and Tea, was presented
by the Debuteens Club.
The lastest fashions were chosen to be modeled; from party dresses to lounging pajamas, there was some-
thing to flatter every girl. It was a new experience for some, and a wonderful opportunity for all who where
chosen to model. Marge Banaski, Donna Shannon, Sheryn Frazier, and Mary Martin were four of the twelve
lucky models.

Brickie Buttons — to boost our teams —
were sold by the Booster Club this year.
The money raised went toward financing
the cheerleader's outfits and other ex-
penses. Judy Freeland, vice-presedent,
and Pat Evans, president, set a good ex-
ample by purchasing their buttons from
members Violet Guess and Carol Potts.
Boosters’ first card section makes debut at Gary Roosevelt game
The Brickies must be on their way to another victory ! At least that's the way it appears
from the happy looks on the faces of these Booster Club members. They are the girls who
have faithfully followed our football, basketball, and track teams through their '57-'58 season.
BOOSTERS CLUB
PRESIDENT - PAT EVANS
VICE PRESIDENT -JUDY FREELAND
SECRETARY -VIVIAN SELBY
TREASURER - CAROL KANE
Do you have your Booster But-
ton? The selling of these pins
to raise money and at the same
time promote school spirit, was
one of the biggest projects of
the Booster Club this year. The
club also sold miniature cheer-
leader and football player dolls.
For two of the home football
games, a card section was form-
ed. Hobart was spelled out in
purple with a white background.
The Boosters wore white blouses
and formed a block for many of
the basketball games.

CHEERLEADERS
Victory ! Victory ! That's our
cry It is indeed the cry of not
only the Cheerleaders represent-
ing Hobart High but of the en-
thusiastic students who follow
them in this yell and many more.
There are five varsity, five re-
serve, and three substitute cheer-
leaders whose selection is based
on their poise, rhythm and ac-
tions. The girls trying out are
screened by a chosen committee.
Fourteen of these girls are se-
lected by the committee to per-
form before the entire school.
The student body then casts the
final vote.
Joann Clemens, Doris Novotny, Gerrie Kopko, end Gloria Suarez, the Varsity cheerleaders,
have a right to look happy after cheering for one of the highest ranking football teams in
the state and also, one of the most promising basketball teams — the Brickies of HHS, of
course I Not shown: Charlotte Banker.
Cheerleaders leading students in yells urge teams on to victory
Pep and enthusiasm described this year's re-
serve cheerleaders very well. Sandy Lea, Martha
Hartman, Ruth Marconi, Carol Crawley, and
Gwen Welch cheered their reserve football and
basketball teams on to victory in their '57-'5 8
season.
Janice Eaton, Cindy Ballog, and Sharon Campbell served as
this year's substitutes for the varsity and reserve cheerleading
squads. These girls cheered at basketball and football games
when the regular cheerleaders could not attend.

ART CLUB
President— Suzanne Seed
Vice President— Steve Rice
Treasurer— Sally Adams
Secretary— Marge Cisman
Don't be a droodeler ! Learn to
draw. This is one of the many
cries which instilled enthusiasm
in students to learn more about
art. The Art Club was reorgan-
ized this year to foster interest in
art among the students of Hobart
High.
The annual trip to the Art Fair
was planned to increase the mem-
ber's knowledge of art. The Art
Club's project of making enam-
eled jewelry proved to be very
worth-while.
Art work can really be fun I This is quite evident from looking at the happy smiles on
the faces of these Art Club members. As Suzanne Seed explains the fine points of the
picture, Brian Skogler, Steve Rice, Anna Sulie, and Peggy Rosenbaum look on.
Students interested
in art and dramatics reorganize the clubs
DRAMATICS CLUB
President— Sheryn Frazier
Vice-President— Kathy McKnight
Secretary— Dee Ballantyne
Treasurer— Gloria Suarez
Dramatics Club is back to stay, we
hope. This is the feeling of many
Hobart High students toward this
newly reorganized club.
Each member has a real interest
in drama; whether it be acting, prop-
erty work, make-up, stage tech-
nique, or just wishing to be behind
the scenes, there is a place for every-
one. Two successful plays were pre-
sented by the Club this year to var-
ious groups.
Dolly Tsacrios has made a petition to be used for her role in "The Trouble with
Mothers". Peggy Tucker and Mary Kay Berg find this quite interesting.
Pat Workman is ready to prompt these members of the cast.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA
President— Joyce Burke
Vice-President— Pat Wood
Secretary— Violet Guess
Treasurer— Betty Edgington
The Future Teachers of America
is a service club — service to the
teachers and other students. The
members take over classes in the
high school, junior high, and the
elementary schools.
The main activity of FTA is to
help at Back-To-School-Night. The
members assist the parents and
teachers in every way possible.
Violet Guess looks over reports handed
in by the delegates, John Batzel, Wanda
Andrews, Gloria Callaway, and Kathy Mc-
Knight, who attended the Northern Indiana
Convention for FTA members. The pur-
pose of the convention was to nominate
officers for this area. John was nominated
for Vive-President.
FTA, FBLA members learn more of possible future professions
FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS
OF AMERICA
President— Johanna Nolcheff
Vice-President— Rita McDonald
Secretary— Margaret Neill
Treasurer— Pat Yurchak
Through the activities of the mem-
bers of the FBLA Club, all "future
business leaders" get an inside
glance into the business world. Any
student planning to make a career
in business is urged to join FBLA.
The members met and talked to
many leading businessmen of Ho-
bart and the surrounding area. They
also took field trips to some of the
leading manufacturing companies.
The National Convention in April
for all Future Business Leaders of
America brought the year to a suc-
cessful close.
Johanna Nolcheff, Deanna Maxwell, and Marilyn Oswald, members of FBLA, want
to earn their way to the annual business convention. How ? Grading papers. By
grading papers for teachers they earn points so that they may attend the convention.
37
USHERS CLUB
The Ushers Club is quite dif-
ferent than any of the other or-
ganizations at H. H. S. They
have no special activities or
means of providing entertain-
ment; their main purpose is the
reserving of seats, paid for in
advance, at certain school events
and to conduct the people to
their seats.
This is not so small a task as
it may sound, and the boys in
Ushers Club render a much need-
ed service. You will always find
the members polite and ready
to help.
These are the boys who are seen at Hobart High's social functions, helping people to
their seats. The parents of the football players agree that the ushers are really tops when
it comes to finding their reserve seats at the games.
First row: Jim Blackburn, Ken Schroeder. Second row: Phil Gerard, Herb Peterson, Glen
Palmer.
Ushers, Audio-Visual render services to students and faculty
AUDIO VISUAL
Audio Visual is one of the
service clubs here at Hobart. The
club holds meetings in the fall
only as long as it takes those
wishing to belong to learn how
to operate the equipment. Class
schedules of all members are
printed and given to the teach-
ers. The boys can be called uopn
at any time by a teacher to set
up the projector and run a movie
that they may want shown to
their class.
Although the Audio Visual Club is known for helping teachers show movies, learning about
tape recorders is another objective of the club. Demonstrating their ability to operate this
tape recorder are Floyd Rogers, Harold Erwin, Marvin Manteuffel, Jon Howard, and Bob Haas.

FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF
AMERICA
President— Lydia Strouse
Vice-President— Gail Jenkins
Secretary— Arlene Sayka
Treasurer— Lucille Schultz
A true display of enthusiasm
has laid a foundation for a more
sound and advanced FHA at Ho-
bart High. This year the club
had the honor of joining the Na-
tional Association. This accomp-
lishment has enabled the club
to attend lectures, style shows,
and other planned programs at
various surrounding universities.
Its own activities include an
annual bake sale, helping the
Debuteen Clubs on Carnation
Day, and each member is re-
sponsible for a project each se-
mester.
Lydia Strouse, president of the Future Homemakers of America, has just completed her
semester project. Dione Pflughoeft, Ernestine Seaman, and Gail Jenkins all seem to agree
that Lydia should be very proud of her work.
A semester project is required from each member of FHA.
Clean-Up Parties, projects — events of Librarians and FHA
LIBRARIAN'S CLUB
President— Joyce Burke
Vice-President— Judy Brishky
Secretary— Dolores Kramer
Treasurer— Pat Yurchak
Whether hunting for reference
material for English or looking
for a good novel to read, there
is always a girl from the Librar-
ian's Club to help find it. The
purpose of this club is to supply
the students and faculty with the
books and reading material de-
sired.
The Librarians have a clean-
up party every six weeks when
the cleaning and arranging of
the books are done. The initia-
tion, Valentine party, and Sen-
ior Farewell are the social events
of the year.
Dust the books I Arrange the books I Read the books ? The members of the Librarians
Club have many clean-up parties in order to keep the library in good condition.
These girls really don't mind this tedious task that was assigned to them. From left to

SECRETARY -MELISSA RITENOUR
TREASURER - BRENT DICKSON
Are you aware of all the im-
portant events taking place in
the scientific era we are living
in? What is the whole story be-
hind "sputnik"? Well you can
learn all these things and more
by becoming a member of the
Science Club.
This year the club saw films
on atoms and other scientific
subjects heard reports on skin
diving the I. B. M. machine, and
unidentified objects. They also
took a field trip to the Museum
of Science and Industry.
Can you imagine what these "enthusiastic science patrons" are up to now? Well, there
isn't the slightest hint of an idea in evidence, but whatever it may be Brent Dickson, June
LaFevre, Marge Prentiss, and Norman Hill seem to know what to do.
The Science Club sponsors field trips to increase the members' knowledge of science.

BOYS' CLUB
PRESIDENT -GIB ROBINSON
VICE PRESIDENT -CHUCK LAKE
TREASURER- ARNIM WHISLER
The Boys' Club is now in its
third year of existence at Ho-
bart High. It was organized in
order to arouse the interest of
boys in various sports and act-
ivities. The main activity is tar-
get shooting. Boys who qualify
receive a badge and a Ranger
Rating in the National Rifle As-
sociation. Target shooting is
practiced in the basement of the
Hobart branch of the Gary Na-
tional Bank. The boys also see
various movies concerning out-
door life.
An all-day outing was enjoy-
ed this spring by many of the
members.
Following Mr. Hunt's instructions proves to be quite effective. Terry Lee seems to know
exactly what to do. Observing Terry's technique are Bob Rieck and Bob Rans. The mem-
bers of Boys' Club have the opportunity to learn about rifles and to practice target shooting.

SPANISH CLUB
PRESIDENT — BARBARA GILBERT
VICE PRESIDENT -LARRY JOLIFF
SECRETARY - SUE REMUS
TREASURER - SHARON FIFIELD
Pizza at a Spanish Club party?
Yes, due to a mix-up in arrange-
ments, the club turned "Italian"!
The Spanish Club's puproses
are to acquaint its members with
each other and to introduce the
ancient European country's cus-
toms to the interested club mem-
bers. In so doing, a colorful and
meaningful picture of Spain is
presented.
So you see, the Spanish Club
is not only educational but is
also a social organization. It
is open to all Spanish students
who want to take part in it and
its activities.
"Caramba I EspanoE es un lingua muy dificil," says Nelson Lemon to Elaine Plotkin and
Marilyn Oswald, as they cram before going into Spanish class The second year students
belong to the Spanish Club in which they learn about the ancient customs of Spain. Planning
picnics and other activities are a part of the Spanish Club, too.

LATIN CLUB
PRESIDENT- JIM MAZEPA
VICE PRESIDENT-MARY KAY NETZHAMM
SECRETARY - BARBARA BURDEN
TREASURER - MARIAN FRASECK
America isn't the only country
in the world we know, but many
people never have a chance to
visit other countries. The stud-
ents belonging to the Latin Club
learn more about the cultural
background and customs of the
Romans. This adds variety to
the study of Latin.
IO SATURNALIA, the annual
supper for all Latin students, was
held on December 19th. This is
the big social event of the Latin
Club.
In April, all Latin Clubs in the
state may attend the Junior Clas-
sical League Conference at But-
ler University.
The 1957-58 Latin Club carried on their tradition this year by giving their annual presenta-
tion of the "Golden Apple" at IO-SATURNALIA. Some members of this year's cast are
shown above. Dale Sanow, Annabelle Stafford, Mary Lou Maurer, Darlene Crowder, Kath-
erine Karageorge, Carole Vygrala, Gerry Mopes, Sandra Bryson, and John Johnson.
Ho-Hi Life’s columns, style, ideas give new look to 8 big pages
Doug Spangler, first semester Editor-in-Chief, hands over the responsibilities of getting
the Ho-Hi Life out to the student body to his successor for the second semester, Mary Martin.
Doug and Mary's ability combined with the editorial staff's and the reporters' cooperation
and ability made this year's Ho-Hi Life what it was.
HO HI LIFE
What, when, where, why, and
how— that's what the Ho-Hi Life
strives to answer about all
events taking place in Hobart
High throughout the school year.
This is accomplished by a cap-
able editorial staff and a corps
of cub reporters.
Each semester a new editor-
in-chief is elected. This year the
two persons receiving the honor
were Doug Spangler and Mary
Martin.
Under the supervision and
guidance of their sponsor, Mr.
DonSmall, the 1958 Ho-Hi Life
staff publishes 16 tri-weekly edi-
tions of our eight-page school
newspaper.

“Meet that deadline!” Famous last words to staff as time runs out
Is your section ready to
go to press ? It seemed like
the answer was always no;
but finally everything was
completed and everyone
could relax once more.
The yearbook is published
annually, giving the students
a reference to the events of
the school year and recalling
many memories. Many hours
hours go into the prepara-
tion of a book of this sort.
The editor-in-chief along
with the senior editors, ad-
vertising staff, business staff,
and photographers are the
industrious workers who
make MEMORIES as fine and
delightful as possible.
Looking over an old yearbook from another school is a refreshing change at times. But the
topic of discussion alw saycomes back to the Hobart yearbook. Violet Guess, editor-in-chief;
Jennie Speer, business manager; Dave Flinn and Bob Etter, advertising managers, talk about
the huge task of getting MEMORIES to the press.
Peggy Rosenbaum, art editor,
seems puzzled about something as
she points out a placement on the
dummy copy of MEMORIES to Mary
Sue Miscko, underclass editor; Betty
Edgington, faculty editor; Judy Fer-
kinhoff, clubs editor; and Lydia
Strouse, picture editor.
These senior editors of the 1958 MEMORIES, look on as Jocelyn Hahn, copy editor, is busily
trying to meet a deadline.

"Wish there weren't so many pictures left to be taken I" It's
nearing the end of the year and Dick Gerlich seems to be voicing
this sentiment as he frowns at the camera. Hours of printing,
developing, and snapping pictures were put in by these boys to-
ward the editing of this year's MEMORIES. Those looking on and
who seem to agree whole-heartedly with Dick are Paul Bartz,
Gordon Anderson, and Larry Schaefer. Not shown: Lyle Hatten.

"The work is nearly over," might be the thought behind the
smiles of Jocelyn Hahn, secretary-treasurer, and Susan Shone, who
was president of the conference this last year. The vice-president

ference will be held next year. Susan and Jocelyn, with the help
of many girls and sponsors, had to plan the program, obtain a
speaker, and send letters of invitation to participating schools in
Lake County.
Lake County Girls’ Conference
Hobart presented "The New Look"
at the 1958 Lake County Girls' Con-
ference, and it wasn't the newly-
styled chemise that gave this talk
its name. Miss Meyers, the guest
speaker, told the girls attending the
conference to take on a new look
by looking at the brighter side of life
and people.
Four hundred and forty-three girls
from twenty-two Lake County high
schools were in attendance. The only
boy at the conference was Dick Ger-
lich, Hobart High School mayor, who
welcomed the girls on behalf of the
boys of Hobart.
The day's agenda featured Miss
Meyers; discussion groups with such
topics as make - up, marriage and
school extra - curricular activities; a
luncheon; and entertainment which
included group singing, a style show
presented by Calumet High School,
and solos by Judy Boyd of Hobart
and Marian Rhodes of Merrillville.

"Look for the good points of people," stated Miss Meyers. As
head of the personnel department of General Electric, Miss Meyers
told of her many experiences with people and also said that you
can find many good points in everyone.
Dick Gerlich, as Mayor of Hobart High School, spoke a few brief
words of introduction and welcomed all the girls to the 19th annual
Lake County Girls' Conference. He made the statement, "I speak
in behalf of all the boys in Hobart."

deeds usually performed for them supposedly by the boys. Girls
carried books, opened doors, and walked boys to classes.
Look what we have here ! Hobart High School now has a school
flag which was purchased by the student council with the help of
the many school clubs. The flag is to be raised at all football
games beneath the American flag.

From the looks on the faces of these Chess Club members, some-

gets underway there is no time for smiles; the members play with
a steady concentration that makes for a good game. Seated at
the table are Bill Nowak, Peter Winske, Marvin Manteuffel, secre-

We Saw, We’ll Never Forget . . .
It can truthfully be said that this year we had a
superb sports record set for our school.
Mr. Kurth, Athletic Director, saw his dream become
a reality when the 1958 X-Country team won the State
Championship at Indianapolis.
Equal praise and congratulations go to our great foot-
ball team and coach who came through the season with
nine wins and one loss, and to our basketball, baseball,
and track teams and coaches who have earned a fine
reputation.
We students can really be proud when we say "We're
from Hobart I"

HARRIERS UNDEFEATED STATE CHAMPIONS
A dream of twelve years became a reality for
Coach Frank Kurth and his harrier athletes when
they annexed the 12th Annual Indiana High School
Athletic Association Cross Country State Champion-
ship in Indianapolis on Saturday morning, Novem-
ber 2, 1957. The state championship was the first
team title for Hobart in school history.
The Brickie harriers approached the state meet
with a perfect record string of eleven victories and
needed only the state title to stamp themselves as
one of the finest groups of Hoosier schoolboy run-
ners to race over hill-and-dale in the gruelling 2-
mile test of athletic stamina. Challenging the Ho-
Hi runners in the classic state meet were the peren-
nial harrier hings of Anderson with 7 titles, Indian-
apolis Shortridge 2, and Muncie Central 1. All three
teams were highly regarded hopefuls for a 12 crown.
Taking Hobart into the title throne room of the
IHSAA were co captains Don Hancock and Dick More-
house, seniors; Ray Isakson, Dwain Crisp and Windell
Claxton, Juniors. This five-some, groomed in long,
hard workouts by Coach Kurth, dedicated their
championship hopes on the trip home from their 9th
place finish in 1956. Building poise and determina-
tion in summer training and confidence with an un-
beaten record of regular scheduled meets, they were
set for their title dream. All their hard work paid
off when the scores were counted and the Hobart
total of 87 points was low for the championship

Morehouse, Don Hancock, Dwain Crisp, Ronald Morton, Jim Meade.
title. Muncie Central's 1 1 1 points was second and
Indianapolis Shortridge was third with 123.
Official times and place finishes of the Brickie
quintet of scoring runners in the title showdown were
as follows: Don Hanocck, 9:56.4 (3rd); Dick More-
house, 10:04 (11th); Dwain Crisp, 10:17 (22nd); Ray
Isakson, 10:18 (23rd); and Windell Claxton, 10:28 t
(28th). Jim and Jack Meade, Hobart 6th and 7th
runners, whose point totals were not counted, placed
65th and 71 st.
The feat of galloping through all their meets dur-
ing the 1957 season for the unblemished record
ranks as an all-time athletic achievement in the an-
nals of Hobart sport history as a credit to desire and
determination of the 1957 harriers.
Hobart's other near state championship efforts
came in 1955 for a second place rank and in 1954
and 1950 when third place finishes were registered.
Don Hancock's individual record times for the
season marked him as the top Hobart harrier of all
time with his sub-ten-minute clockings. His best
effort of 9:34.1 now stands as the cross country rec-
ord, replacing his 9:53.0 mark in 1956.
Dwain Crisp, Ray Isakson and Windell Claxton
remain as tri-captains for a powerful nucleus in an-
other title attempt next year. Jim Meade, Ronald
Morton, Jim Marler, and Rex Bell, varsity point scor-
ers and major letter winners, should offer strong sup-
port in moving into the vacated spots of senior co-
captains, Hancock and Morehouse.

As the Brickies hit the hot burning sands in the
dust bowl on August 15, they knew it would take
a great team to equal the team of '56, who won 8
and lost 1. The sun was blazing as the double-day
practices, 5 days a week, began. The workouts
clicked by, on toward the Whiting Oilers and the
start of a great season.
The Brickies opened the season with the Whiting
Oilers on the Brickies' own turf. The stands were
packed as the mighty Brickies started off the season
with a bang and a 20 to 7 win over a good Oiler
team.
The Tornados of Emerson as usual came up with
another good and rough team. But the Brickies again
proved their ability as a rough Hobart team and
shut-out the Tornados 19 to 0, on what looked and
felt like a foot-deep mud field.

fighting Hobart team rolled off a 32 to 13 win and
the Brickies charged on, undefeated.
For the first time in the history of the school, the
Brickies played for "Dad's Night" against the Pan-
thers of Gary Roosevelt. At the half-time the Brickies'
Dads weren't too happy, the Brickies trailing 2 to 0.
But they came back for their Dads, Coach Deal and
the roaring crowd behind them when they cracked
the Panthers 13 to 2.
The Brickies were feeling high for the Homecoming
Game with the Crown Point Bulldogs. They dug in
hard, but the Bulldogs proved they weren't a push-
over as the Brickies eased by 20 to 7 for 5 wins in
a row.
After being hit with the Asiatic flu, the Brickies
came back to take a rousing win of 33 to 13 over
the Tigers of Hammond Tech. This gave the Brickies
6 in a row.

The Brickies traveled to Michigan City on a muddy,
sloppy, and slippery night. The Red Devils received
the opening kick-off and scored for a 7 to 0 lead.
But the fighting Brickies sparked back to make it a
fighting win of 22 to 1 8.
The Brickie Nightmare came as they met the state
champions of the year. East Chicago Roosevelt. The
hail and snow beat down on the two teams but the
Rough Riders fought to a well-earned 27 to 0 win
over the Brickie team that just couldn't get rolling.
The Brickies traveled to Huntington for their final
game of the year and the last for the Seniors, who
were lead by Co-Captains Dean Eickstead and Dick
Gerlich. They put the team at their highest spirit
of the year to set a new school record that smashed
the Vikings with a 61 to 6 victory.
Dick Gerlich, Co-Captain, makes a smashing tackle on a Panther
of Griffith. Lyle Hatten, 35, and Steve Roper, 40, came on to

Brickie Basketball Team once more improves upon preceding
The Hobart Brickies, who last year won six games
and lost fourteen, improved their record somewhat
this season by winning seven and losing thirteen
games. This year's varsity team was unusual be-
cause there were no seniors on it. It consisted of
nine juniors and one sophomore.
The team started off the season with three disap-
pointing losses. The first one was to Bishop Noll,
67 to 45 the second was to Hammond Clark, 61 to
43; and the third to Lew Wallace by one heartbreak-
ing point, 55 to 54.
Then came our first win of the season. We de-
feated East Gary Edison on our own floor with a
score of 54 to 44. Next, the Brickies met the Merrill-
ville Pirates. Once again they were beaten by a
one point margin, 39 to 38. We followed this up
with our second victory which was over Gary Emer-
son. We racked up a winning score of 66 to 47.
With the Christmas holidays came the Merrillville
Tourney in which Hobart lost their two games; the
first to a good Calumet team, 50 to 30, and the sec-
ond to Merrillville again, 54 to 53. The Brickies
then went into the Portage Tourney which they won
by defeating East Gary Edison, 62 to 49, and Ham-
mond Morton, 52 to 44. Another win came when
we defeated Crown Point on their floor with a lead
of 14 points, 71 to 57.
Another losing streak ca meour way at this time
and we lost four straight games: Lowell, 72 to 71;
Wirt, 55 to 47; South Bend St. Joe, 72 to 47; and
Griffith, 79 to 68.
Our last win of the season came when we de-
feated East Gary Edison for the third time this year
in a close and hard-fought game; the score was
72 to 70.
The Brickies fell back somewhat this year in sec-
tional play and lost their first game to Horace Mann,
who was rated as one of the top fifteen teams in
the state.

BANNER YEAR
Undefeated in their first nine outdoor meets of the
season. Brickie Trackmen successfully hurdled their
first obstacle to state championship honors by ringing
up their first sectional championship in history as
they copped the Gary IHSAA sponsored meet with a
title aggregate of 34 points. Gary Froebel with 32
points was runnerup, Gary Roosevelt took third with
28 points in the 17 school meet.
Dominated over a period of 51 years by Gary
schools, Brickie trackmen after being close to the
title for several years, finally harbored their first
track and field championship sectional meet for
Coach Frank Kurth who has kept the Brickies near
the pinnacle of title hopes for 18 years.
Ending the Gary reign of sectional championships
with their 34 point total were the following athletes:
Terry White, victor in the 100 and 220 yard dashes,
10 points; Don Hancock winner of mile run, 5 points;
Chuck Vigland and Bill Lane tie for first in high
jump, 5Vi points; Dave Jordon and Bob Gravel tie
for first in pole vault, 5Vi points; Scott Wilson's fourth
place in broad jump, 1 point; Dean Eickstead's fourth
in 440 yard dash, 1 point; and Terry White, John
Stephens, Scott Wilson and Dean Eickstead, second
place in 880 yard relay, 6 points.
Rolling along in outdoor competition for an un-
defeated season in regular scheduled meets, the
Brickie thinclad athletes added trophies to their long
list in the crowded trophy case with victories in the
18th Little Five Meet, the 3rd Culver Relays, the 26th
Delphi Relays and the 3rd Hobart Relays. The sec-
tional triumph climaxed the long sought after award.
This year's squad, powered mostly by junior letter-
men, could surpass the outstanding achievements
turned in this spring when they round out their ath-
letic careers as seniors in 1959. Seniors doing their
part for the great success in recording the 1958 vic-
tory skein include Scott Wilson, Bob Gravel, Dean
Eickstead, Don Hancock and Dick Morehouse.
Underclassmen are honorary captain Terry White,
Dave Jordon, Jim Meade, Jack Meade, Chuck Vig-

Jocelyn Hahn and Glenn Smith make use of the locker room bul-
letin board to sign up for their Senior picture appointments with
Victor Studios.
"I get that old feeling" — Christmas feeling that is — seems
to be the theme of this group of Senior girls as they decorate the
school tree. Adding that "magic touch" are Libby Furnish, Martha
Fetterer, Pat Wood, and Carol Schmelter.
Sweatshirt Day found these Seniors "adorn-

"Twilight Time", theme of the frosh' class party,
found Dick Pavel and Sharon Ramsey reigning as
King and Queen. Refreshments, music, and dancing
helped make the evening a success.
Refreshments went over big with the freshmen
at their class party. When only a few empty bot-
tles and cups remained, the kids decided they had
had enough and went back to dancing.
94
Class locker rooms, parties, other events, prove crowded affairs
The theme and decoration committee for the Prom is shown
here at one of its noon meetings. Margaret Prentiss, chairman,
plus members of her committee decided that "Parisian Paradise"
should be the theme for the "58" Prom.
The Junior Class sponsored one of the after-game dances held
in the Roosevelt Gym. With not too much time for elaborate
decorations and planning, the Juniors felt very pleased since it
was enjoyed by all those who attended.
"Spring Fever" was the theme chosen by the Soph's for their
class party. Shown here are Becky Griffiths, Sally Adams, and
Judy Freeland, only a few who helped chairman, Larry Rosenbaum,
get the gym decorated for the big night.
The Sophomore locker room is surely a buzz of activity at the
end of a school day. Caught in action are a few of the early-
birds, anxious to get their belongings and go home after another
day of school.
95
Mr. Arlie Kerr, Superintendent of schools,
has worked hard toward getting a new high
school for the students of Hobart. The new
school, which is located near Lake George,
will be completed by the fall of '58. Mr. Kerr
received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Edu-
cation at Ball State Teacher's College and later
he received his Master's Degree at Indiana
University. Since that time he has taken ad-
ditional graduate work at Purdue University.
Due to constant efforts of Hobart High School Administration,
During the past year, Mr. Kerr, Superintendent of
Hobart Schools, with the assistance of the Board of
School Trustees, has re-evaluated the entire curriculm
offered to students attending the Hobart chools. The
object of this reevaluation was to discover ways of
improving what is being taught and eventually im-
proving how it is being taught.
One of the biggest projects of these administrators,
of course, was the making of final plans toward the
completion of the new high school building located
on 10th Street near Lake George. Earlier this year
a contract was signed with the Boyd Construction
Company to install a strom sewer and also to level
and fill in the area east of the structure. All the
new furniture and equipment that will be needed in
the new building has been purchased and it will be
ready for occupancy at the beginning of the school
year of 1958.
Another step taken toward improving building
facilities of the schools in Hobart was the addition
of six classrooms at Ridge View School. Also, a sur-
vey was taken to find out whether Hobart could
qualify for federal assistance in converting part of
this, the old high school, into a junior high building.
There are committees now working toward the re-
vision of the report cards that are given to students
in elementary, junior, and senior high schools. It
is not yet known when the results of their work will
be completed and compiled.
A new class on public school finance and budget
procedure was organized this year for teachers and
was taught by Mr. Kerr. This was to help the teach-
ers understand more about the financial background
of schools, Hobart schools in particular.
The School Board and Mr. Kerr placed their ap-
proval on the new seventy minute periods which
were first tried here at Hobart this year. These
longer periods have proved, in many cases, to be
very successful.
We know that in these few paragraphs we have
only scratched the surface of the accomplishments
and the many efforts that have been put forth this
year by the School Board and Mr. Kerr. We hope,
however, that we may have given you some idea of
the work that is always being done behind the
scenes and of the interest these administrators are
taking in making the schools of Hobart better for
you, the students.
96
Pictured from left to right are the members of the school board.
They are: Harry Garmong, secretary; Mr. Arley Kerr, Superintendent
of Hobart City Schools; Verne Elliott; Donald Sporre; Alice Hamil-
ton, treasurer and Don Robinson, president. These members have
spent many hours improving the school system and in making Ho-
bart High a school from which students can be proud to have grad-
uated. This year they have been kept especially busy in securing
the final plans and arrangements for the new high school.

entering new building in fall of ’58
Mr. Eugene Wise, Director of Pupil Personnel,
coordinates the attendance for the Hobart City
Schools which includes the elementary schools,
public, parochial, junior and senior high
schools. He supervises the programs in special
education, such as the home-bound, the ment-
ally retarded, and those who have speech and
hearing defects. Also, he represents the schools
in juvenile court cases pertaining to de-
linquency and parental neglect.
During the six years that Mr. Harold Moody has been principal of Hobart High,
he has worked diligently toward raising its standards and providing the students
with a wider and more varied curriculum. Throughout the year he sends out
questionnaires, taking polls of the student body, to discover their opinions on matters
of importance to the school. These are compiled in the principal's office and the
result announced over the public address system.
Mr. Moody holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Arts degree and he enjoys
fishing and watching baseball.
And thus closes an era
1957-58 has come and is almost
gone.
Gone before it are 80 other years
of school life in a building erected
in 1877, twelve years after Lincoln's
assassination and one year follow-
ing Custer's last stand. These were
days before the Wright brothers
were even thinking about such a
thing as a "flying machine", before
Edison invented the electric lamp,
and before "old - fashioned" radio
was born.
Gone before it are thousands of
boys and girls, growing into adult-
hood, scattering to all corners of the
earth, and reaching into fields of
distinction and honor. Many have
completed their lives and have
passed into eternity.
Now the building, too, has come
to the end of its life of service to
Hobart youth and must soon pass
into oblivion. The high-ceiling rooms,
the creaky stairways, the old-fash-
ioned doors and windows, the nar-
Administrative committee offers guidance and instruction to many
Miss Dorothy Thompson, Vice-Principal, is in charge
of all class and student council activities. She is the
only sponsor of the student council and she helps the
Mayor and Clerk-Treasurer to prepare the agenda for
each meeting. This year she was responsible for helping
the student council plan the Senior Government Day,
the Leadership Conference, and the Talent Show, all of
which have become annual events at Hobart High School.
row, crooked hallways, and the dis-
mal lights are to be no more. The
old, favorite places and the haunts
of many memories of fun and laugh-
ter will live only in the imaginations
and memories of those who exper-
ienced them.
It is not without a slight twinge of
sadness that we say, "Goodbye, you
have served us very well !"
An now begins an era
A new, modern, and carefully
planned million and one-half dollar
structure on the shores of Lake
George is rapidly forming into the
most beautiful building in the City
of Hobart. With rooms of colorful
warmth, with wide, spacious hall-
ways, with the most modern furni-
ture and equipment, we look for-
ward with eagerness and excitement
to the coming years and hope they
offer golden opportunities to every
boy and every girl who enters the
doors of the new
HOBART SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Harold Moody, Principal
students each year
Mr. Marion Bailey, Guidance Director, has done much for the students during the
years he has been at Hobart High. He sees to it that all freshmen take aptitude,
personality, and special interest tests to help determine what their objectives will
be in high school. Besides teaching a government and economics class he advises
students who need special counseling. He also gives tests to the seniors to see how
much they have improved during their four years in high school, and he advises them
on college requirements and in choosing a vocation.
Mrs. Annabelle Shone, Dean of Girls, uses her wise judgment
in dealing with the girls' attendance and discipline problems.
She also teachers a freshman algebra class and is the head sponsor
of the Debuteens Club.
Mr. Russell Deal, Dean of Boys, is in charge of the boys at-
tendance and takes care of their discipline problems. Along with
teaching a health and safety class he has once again done a fine
job of coaching our football team.

good condition by able corps of office girls, janitors, and cooks
Sheila Miller, secretary, and Adele McOmber, bookkeeper, look
on as the executive secretary, Mildred Lenburg, continues working.
These girls are kept constantly busy while working in the super-
intendent's office which is the center of activity of the Hobart
City School.
Pictured is Mr. George Schnabel, Superintendent of Buildings
and Grounds. The duties of Mr. Schnabel are to see that the
school grounds and buildings are kept in good condition. He is
also the overseer of the custodians.
Mrs. Pauline Mergl, secretary, and Miss Pat Loomis, bookkeeper,
help keep the high school's business in smooth running order with
their efficient work. They also assist the students by answering
their endless questions.
The cafeteria staff is kept busy preparing wholesome and de-
licious meals for the Senior High School students as well as the
Junior High. They are Emma Schrock and Rose Dykhuis. Not
shown: Clara Graff.

This is the structure in which the approximately
800 students attending Hobart High School will make
their new home next year. There will be only the
sophomore, junior, and senior classes there instead
of the four that have made up Hobart High in the
past.
The Brickie teams and gym classes are especially
looking forward to the new gym. Besides seating
as many as 2800 spectators, the new gym will pro-
vide a better playing floor for our basketball teams
in future years. Also, it will provide the gym stud-
ents with boys' and girls' shower rooms and the girls
will be glad to learn that hair dryers are also being
installed.
The classrooms will all be made with space to
spare, and some, such as the science rooms, will give
the students a chance to learn and study with the
finest and most up-to-date equipment.
In every one of the rooms, acoustical tiling is to
New Hobart High School building
be installed. This tile will improve the sound quality
produced in the class.
The lighting effects will prove more than adequate
for the students and faculty as it pours from the
overhead light fixtures and through the more than
100 windows of the new building.
This structure is a far cry from the one in which
we are now attending classes. Its spaciousness,
beauty, and conveniences are beyond words. We
will walk through halls with enough elbow room,
attend classes with enough seating space, and view
games with comfort. We shall have reason to be
proud and respect our new surroundings.
This new building will give us many advantages
in helping Hobart High grow in stature and in name.
We should make use of these advantages to their
utmost possibilities — it's up to us to add to the
achievements that Hobart students have made in
the past.

makes debut in fall of ’58
This is the new modern gym where Hobart will play
its home basketball games next year. Brickie fans will
be glad to know that it seats about 2800. Shown are
the doors at the west end.

The young people you see in these pictures are all
on their way to successful careers in one of America’s
basic industries . . . steel. They decided (as we hope
you will decide) to let Inland Steel Company help
them plan their future.
Some are gaining knowledge and experience in spe-
cial trades to become journeyman machinists, car-
penters or electricians . . . some are concentrating on
certain phases of steelmaking by working in the open
hearth shops, the cold rolling mills or the galvanizing
lines. Still others are working in laboratories building
a sound foundation for a future in steel research.
Inland offers the high school graduate an excellent
opportunity to further his education. Employees may
participate in a variety of on-the-job training pro-
grams, or they can continue their formal education
by registering for evening courses offered by local
Purdue and Indiana University Extension Centers.
Plan now to investigate the unlimited opportunities
for you in steel . . . with the midwest’s own steel
company . . . INLAND STEEL.
